Through the Pilgrim Door: Pioneering a Fresh Expression of Church

There’s a lot of talk about ‘fresh expressions’ of church emerging in our culture. But what does it actually feel like to be given a blank piece of paper and told to start something from scratch? In Through the Pilgrim Door, Michael Volland takes us with him through the first year of his pioneering ministry. Michael Volland’s narrative skills, first enjoyed in God on the Beach, are back in evidence in Through the Pilgrim Door as he steers through the obstacles, challenges, and unexpected encouragements he finds along the way. As he tells the story of Through the Pilgrim Door , Michael Volland reflects on the need to balance innovation with a sense of history, challenging assumptions in both traditionalist and pioneering church ministries. For those considering a new church plant or pioneering ministry – or those who are simply curious – Through the Pilgrim Door shows what can be done with a little finance and a whole lot of faith.
